Announcement

Automatic allocation of CPU resources (cores) to your most critical applications
(allocation of time slices on cores as well as whole cores when managing processor sets, virtual partitions, or nPartitions)

A core is the actual data-processing engine within a processor, where a single processor might have multiple cores, and a core might support multiple execution threads; for more information, see the WLM HP-UX Workload Manager User’s Guide.

User-configured allocation of real memory and disk bandwidth resources

Shares-based and goal-based SLOs

CPU shares-per-metric allocations, which allow you to give a workload, for example, 2% of the CPU resources for each process in the workload

Multiple SLOs at different priorities, allowing you to have a “must meet” goal and optional stretch goals for each workload

Passive mode for analyzing a configuration’s behavior

Audit and billing data

Ability to set minimum and maximum amounts of cores available to a workload

Time-based and metric-based activation of SLOs, including the ability to activate SLOs associated with a Serviceguard package on failover

GUI for creating, modifying, and deploying WLM configurations locally and on remote systems

Integration with HP Systems Insight Manager, allowing you to remotely control WLM running on numerous nodes from a single point of administration
